Supplemet to "Wearing the kilt inScotland" (Back to topic)

[James Hood]

Lederhosen! Lederhosen!

When last in Bayern (Bavaria), Germany, Lederhosen were few and far between except at Festival, basically Mardi Gras in Munchen (Munich).

Still, there were some Lederhosen in stores and a splendid Munich shop (Almenrausch) which sold nothing but Lederhosen and Dirndls in a wide selection of sizes and colours and patterns. Was with daughter who was studying in Germany and we purchased (intended to) respectively, Dirndl kit for her and knee-length Lederhosen with fancy braces (suspenders) for her father.

'Must say, Lederhosen are splendidly comfortable in Chicago's cooler weather and just plain fun to wear. Kilt hose are perfect for Lederhosen, BTW.

Eccentric minority! Eccentric minority!

"Eccentric minority" is in this opinion, a magnificent description of bold kilted men...apparently anywhere in the world...apparently, including Highland Scotland.
